Guild Wars 2

Hi. So I just read about the new specializations and the new system of obtaining skills and I have a few concerns (or questions).

1) What will happen to all of the skills that we have spent gold and skill points on? Will we get to keep them or do we have to repurchase them with the new Hero points?

2) What will happen to characters who already have all (or at least a majority) of the skills and traits? Will it just be made available to us when the new system comes out? Or will we have to repurchase them too?

Either way, its not a problem. It just something that I’m curious about. The reason I am asking is because in this new skill tree (or circle), it looks there is a set order of skills that you need to follow to obtain skills. So what would happen if I have a strong skill but not it’s prerequisite?

Yes you have to rebuy all skills with the new hero point currency.

They havent said anything about compensating people who spent gold to unlock skills, so expect nothing and if you get something thats a bonus ( unsure they have even tracked who unlocked with events and who spent gold to unlock skills to be honest )
